Hi Funky Funky!!!! Nice to "see" you over here too
I don't want to speak on behalf of everyone, BUT... I can tell you what I think... lol I think Steven deserves a new trial.... I don't know whether he did it or not, but there are many things that just don't make sense when they are looked at deeper. I'm not a "free Avery" supporter... I am more about fairness all around, for both the victim and her family and Avery's. Brendan... I believe 100% he was coerced and had nothing to do with it at all.
This is definitely a case where sides have been taken, which as you can see, leads to some spankings and the forum getting shut down hahaha I can honestly say that I am still on the fence about Steven, but I do not believe for a minute that if he did it, it was done the way the prosecution says.
With that being said, I am disgusted that Kratz and LE/the State went with a narrative that was not supported by the evidence, held a press conference not suitable for children, and this is what they have left the family with. I have posted on this forum a few times that I do have personal experience with a situation just like this, and ironically, it has surfaced again in the last few weeks, and I was speaking to my mom about it today in relation to this case vs our family. She agrees, and she has lived it. When you are told that a family member was brutally ... and I mean brutally murdered... and that is the image you are left with no real proof, it's awful. Every thought, every memory is clouded with that image. I have family members that have spent time in therapy... I have others that should. I cannot even express in words what a difference it would make to be able to take that image away, although, I suspect the damage has already been done. It may seem trivial to some, and in the end it does not matter, Teresa is not with us anymore and her family will never have her back, but knowing how and who without a doubt should be the goal for everyone involved. This is JMO and I don't tell a bit of my story for sympathy I tell it because I do know the impact it can have on a family. I won't say which case it is directly... but it was HUGE in Canada and world wide actually, it was brutal, a mass murderer. There is a thread here at WS's but I do not post in it. I feel I am removed from the situation a bit because I never knew her, but those that did, I see the aftermath on a daily basis.
Sorry for going on and on... but just got home and was talking to my mom about it just hours ago, and it reminded me of why I think I even became obsessed with this case!
I'm a facts kinda girl though... you should know this haha I have read everything with this case!
